python trans, extendedTransforms

[progster]

hi i'm trynig to check this levenshtein function in v23, but I see this error. I've installed a package called trans-2.0.2 and extendedTransforms in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages

*python_extendedTransforms_levenshtein.sps.
DATA LIST FREE /str1 (A8) str2 (A8).
BEGIN DATA
untied united
END DATA.

BEGIN PROGRAM.
import trans, extendedTransforms
tproc = trans.Tfunction()
tproc.append(extendedTransforms.levenshteindistance,
                    'ldistance',
                    'f',
                    ['str1','str2'])
tproc.execute()
END PROGRAM.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
ImportError: No module named trans

I would suggest that you use that function like this, making use of the SPSSINC TRANS extension command.

data list free /str1(a8) str2(a8).

begin data

untied united

end data

spssinc trans result = lev

/formula "extendedTransforms.levenshteindistance(str1, str2)".

The old trans module is not installed with the Statistics Python Essentials, but I think you can get it by following the Python Modules link on the SPSS Community website.
